I wanted to sort the look of the rollovers and changes at different resolutions etc, so its also available as a page here:

Again, really like this one as well - its gonna be tough choosing one. Definately like what you have done with the logo better than my attempt.
Good stuff

trust me to be the last one to submit theirs ! lol , its almost finished ...

dorian · 15-04-2003, 08:56

there is nothing wrong with the logo - I loved working with it... 8)

And they're all quite different so far. You start wanting to take bits from each!

Nice one Stickman, I like it 8)

dorian · 15-04-2003, 09:08

...and you went for grey too

)
is grey or pink the new black

?
I like the colour element - distinctive!
your optimisation could be cleaner

is it done in Fireworks?

yeah... I was thinking the same

Stickman · 15-04-2003, 09:17

Thanks for the feedback.

dorian > The image was resized (not in fireworks) so it became blurred, but I wasn't bothered because I was posting a link as well. I'll do it again properly soon.
People were generally agreed that black text on a light background was the way to go, so I thought as we all(?) seem to like Oli's current greyscale style I'd keep that for ease of use when reading/posting, but add colour away from the text elements. I was also aiming for minimal use of images (css was used for borders etc).

If anyone wants to suggest/make any changes feel free.

smallbeer · 15-04-2003, 09:27

Would it be possible to keep some space between the logo and the 'control panel' if the screen size is reduced?

Stickman · 15-04-2003, 09:42

Yeah, I'll have a look.

I tried it at 1024x768 and upwards as I didn't think anyone using this forum would be using 800x600 resolution. I'm probably wrong..

smallbeer · 15-04-2003, 09:57

Probably right. Just nit-picking

Stickman · 15-04-2003, 10:12

No - it was a fair point.

Anyway, its fixed. Added this to css:
[code:1:50f5ec06e8].logo {margin-right: 10px;}[/code:1:50f5ec06e8]

octane · 15-04-2003, 10:17

Not sure about the rainbow strip on this one. But at least it has some colour.

I think the next competition should be to redesign the logo. I hate Impact!

oli · 15-04-2003, 10:19

yeah I agree with that , the logo is Helvetica CondensedBlack not impact so nerr

octane · 15-04-2003, 10:22

Same difference. They are very simliar. I'm not a fan. Sorry. I might even get around to entering that one!

octane · 15-04-2003, 10:23

What was the prize again?

oli · 15-04-2003, 10:33

for this one its a years hosting, for the next one - its a secret , Im looking at getting one donated from somewhere

dorian · 15-04-2003, 10:47

impact is alright. i quite like it.
the only thing about the logo is that it doesn't have a symbol: e.g. you can't make a 'favicon' for it...
